Wow, Brian, that's a lot of tanks! I feel much less self-indulgent now, LOL! Also, I can keep this in mind to justify getting another at some point!
I also have a bare bottom grow out tank w/ plants in pots.
Yes, the idea that in larger bodies of water the bare areas allocation of CO2 would be somewhat available to the more densly growing areas makes sense.
I agree, if the dosing of CO2 was low enough not to make routing fertilizing necessary, I also would still consider it "El Natural".
